I have. and there is absolutely no objection on the part of any government on the face of the earth. because the same practice is now in vogue in several ports of embarkation without the iuthority of law. I want to give that practice the authority of American law. And I will say that while the examination will take place practically upon foreign soil. it will really take place within the jurisdiction of the American consul. As soon as the American consul begins the examination and inspection of the immigrant. from that moment the immigrant is practically within the scope of our jurisdiction. Now I will yield to the gentleman from New York.
